–61 (Female, male pupa and larva).
This species was described from females, males, pupae, and larvae (
Takaoka
et al
., 2014f
). It is similar to
S. asakoae
but distinguished from the latter species in the male by the brown upper-eye facets, in the pupa by abdominal segments 1 and 2 not darkened on the dorsal surface and in the larva by the head capsule which is not darkened around the postgenal cleft.
The pupae and larvae were collected from a small stream at high elevation (
1,813 m
) in Cameron Highlands.
This
species was once recorded from
Vietnam
(
Takaoka
et al
., 2014c
).
However
, it was later described as a new species,
S.
(
G
.)
sanchayense
Takaoka & Lau
, based on an analysis of the
COI
gene sequences (Takaoka
et al
., 2017a).
